Question

step 5 of 5 : what percent of the total number of electoral college votes for these six states are held by new jersey? round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent if necessary.

Explanation:

Step1: Find electoral votes for each state

Connecticut: 7, Missouri: 8, Nebraska: 5, New Jersey: 8, Virginia: 8, Wisconsin: 10 (assuming Wisconsin's bar reaches 10, as per typical electoral college data or graph interpretation)

Step2: Calculate total electoral votes

Total = 7 + 8 + 5 + 8 + 8 + 10 = 46

Step3: Calculate New Jersey's percentage

Percentage = (New Jersey's votes / Total) 100 = (8 / 46) 100 ≈ 17.3913...

Step4: Round to nearest hundredth

17.39 (rounded to two decimal places)

Answer:

17.39
